Improving paediatric care in Kenyan hospitals

Submitted by crinadmin on Tue, 25/10/2005 - 06:50

Summary: Effective paediatric care requires a combination of skilled and motivated staff and the availability of equipment and supplies. A study of paediatric care in Kenyan district hospitals finds some workers committed to their role and interested in improving the quality of care. However, factors including the absence of guidelines and standards, and shortages of equipment are barriers to improvement.Owner: Mike English, Fabian Esamai and Aggrey Wasunna
